Thanks for the pointers to some additional help.

I did reset the project with a handful of work units, but based on recent events I felt that they would error out anyway. After resetting, three units completed normally then another compute error like before. Have decided to set Seti to NNW and crunch for Malaria Control, not getting any errors there, until this gets sorted out.

You've got the "Can't acquire lockfile - exiting" error, so I'm not sure if cpu throttling may be the cause, as mentioned in Problem with restarting task and Frequent exited with zero status but no 'finished' file, or Task exited with zero status but no 'finished' file over at Einstein. Perhaps this FAQ has some tipps for you. And you should not reset the project. At least not until all WUs are finished and reported.

Upgraded to 6.2.18 and seem to be having some problems. Here is a snippit of the messages from Boinc. Got this type of message on several work units, other work units seem to finish fine. If left alone the work units are returned as Compute error.

Am running XP SP2. Pentium 4 3.2 GHz

I reset Seti, will see if this corrects the problem.

Anyone have any news about them -- looks like they have been offline for a few hours (since late morning Pacific time). Their homepage is not reachable.

The homepage is back.

I wish to appologise to anyone who was inconvienenced by my post in the milestone thread.

I did post an image link using a plugin (smilies) for firefox. Many others use the same plugin on these forums as well.

Appearantly the server that had the particular image I used has had some changes that require a sign in.

Once again, I am sorry that my post caused anyone concern.

Posted 2439 days ago by

Are you by any chance running one of the optimized applications? Like chicken's?

If so, there are no graphics.

Hello all. I just noticed that my option to display graphics for a running work unit is no longer available. I checked my preferences to make sure I didn't have this option turned off, and it is not. Also the sceensaver will only show the text version.
Do I have something set incorrectly, or are the graphics no longer available. I'm running enhanced under Bionc 5.4.11. Thanks!
